1. Caution Statements
Caution Statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can
highlight common causes of damage. It is the installer's responsibility to read and understand
all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the equipment, to
follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal protective equipment
and to seek advice before operating this equipment in a manner other than as described in
this manual.
x Isolate the CSX completely from the power supply before attempting any work on the
CSX or motor.
x Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor cabling.
x Some electronic contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount
relays. Consult the contactor manufacturer/supplier to confirm suitability.
x Do not apply incorrect voltages to the control input terminals.
x Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the output of CSX soft starters. If
static power factor correction is employed, it must be connected to the supply side of
the soft starter.
The CSX contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Only a
qualified electrician should carry out the electrical installation. Improper installation of
the motor or the CSX may cause equipment failure, serious injury or death. Follow
this manual and local electrical safety codes.
Le CSX contient des tensions dangereuses lorsqu'il est raccordé à l'alimentation
secteur. Seul un électricien compétent peut effectuer l'installation électrique. Une
mauvaise installation du moteur ou du CSX peut déclencher une panne
d'équipement, provoquer de graves blessures ou même la mort. Suivre les instructions
de ce manuel et des codes locaux concernant la sécurité électrique.
It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the CSX to provide proper
grounding and branch circuit protection according to local electrical safety codes.
The CSX is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the
operation of the CSX should be fully tested by an authorised service agent.
CSX-007 ~ CSX-055: Allow 100 mm (3.9 inch) between soft starters.
CSX-075 ~ CSX-110: Allow 200 mm (7.9 inch) between soft starters.
CSX-007 ~ CSX-055: Allow 50 mm (2.0 inch) between the soft starter and solid surfaces.
CSX-075 ~ CSX-110: Allow 200 mm (7.9 inch) between the soft starter and solid surfaces.
Soft starters may be mounted side by side with no clearance (that is, if mounted without
communications modules).
The soft starter may be mounted on its side. Derate the soft starter's rated current by 15%.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Isolate the CSX completely from the power supply before attempting any work on
the CSX or motor. Control terminals may be at phase voltage potential.
Isoler complètement le CSX de l'alimentation secteur avant de tenter toute
intervention sur le CSX ou sur le moteur. Les bornes de commande peuvent être
au potentiel de la tension de phase.

3.4 Outputs
Main Contactor Output
The Main Contactor output (terminals 13, 14) closes as soon as the soft starter receives a
start command and remains closed while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the
motor starts a coast to stop, or until the end of a soft stop). The Main Contactor output will
also open if the soft starter trips.
The Main Contactor output can be used to directly control a main contactor coil.
Run Contactor Output
The relay (terminals 23, 24) operates four seconds after the set start ramp time is complete.
The relay can be used to operate a contactor for power factor correction capacitors, or to
signal soft starter run status to an automation system.

5.2 Trip Codes
The Ready LED will flash a different number of times to indicate the cause of the trip.
x 1
x 6
x 8
x 9
Power Circuit: Check mains supply (L1, L2, L3), motor circuit (T1, T2, T3), soft
starter SCRs and bypass relays.
Supply Frequency: Check mains voltage is available and supply frequency is in
range.
Network Communication Failure (between module and network): Check
network connections, settings and configuration.
Starter Communication Failure (between starter and module): Remove and refit
accessory module.
Supply Frequency Protection
The soft starter will trip on supply frequency if the frequency rises above 72 Hz or falls below
40 Hz for more than five seconds while the soft starter is running. These trip points are not
adjustable.
In pre-start, starting and stopping modes the high and low frequency limits both apply with no
time delay.
A supply frequency trip will also occur if:
x
all three input phases are lost while the soft starter is running
x
all three input phases fall below 120 VAC at start or while the soft starter is running
x
the line contactor opens while running
5.3 Reset
Trips can be cleared by pressing the Reset button on the soft starter, sending a Reset
command from the serial communications network, or by switching the control inputs.
To clear a trip via the control inputs, the soft starter requires a closed to open transition on
the stop input (02).
In three-wire control, use the external stop button to momentarily open the stop input
x
(open A1-02).
In two-wire control, if the soft starter tripped with a start signal present, remove the
x
start signal (open A1 to 01, 02).
The Reset button is located on the front of the unit, above the adjustment switches.
The soft starter will trip again immediately if the cause of the trip still exists.

ACCESSORIES
6. Accessories
6.1 Finger Guard Kit
Finger guards may be specified for personnel safety. Finger guards fit over the soft starter
terminals to prevent accidental contact with live terminals. Finger guards provide IP20
protection when used with cable of diameter 22 mm or greater.
6.2 Remote Operator
The Remote Operator can control and monitor the soft starter's performance. Functionality
includes:
x
Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick Stop)
CSX soft starters support network communication via easy-to-install communications
interfaces. Each soft starter can support one communications interface at a time.
WinMaster can be used with AuCom soft starters to provide the following functionality for
networks of up to 99 soft starters:
x
Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick Stop)
x
Starter status monitoring (Ready, Starting, Running, Stopping, Tripped)
To use WinMaster with the CSX, the soft starter must be fitted with a USB Module, Modbus
Module or a Remote Operator.

7.3 Semiconductor Fuses
Semiconductor fuses can be used with CSX soft starters to reduce the potential for damage
to SCRs from transient overload currents and for Type 2 coordination. CSX soft starters have
been tested to achieve Type 2 coordination with semiconductor fuses. Suitable Bussmann and
Ferraz/Mersen semiconductor fuses are detailed below.
